All you need to know about Telangana Formation Day

Date: Telangana Formation Day will be celebrated this year on June 2, Friday. It marks the day when the Telangana state was finally formed.  

History : On July 1, 2013, the Congress Working Committee passed a resolution in support of the formation of Telangana as a separate state. After various stages, the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014 bill was passed in Parliament in February 2014 for the formation of the Telangana state. Following parliamentary approval, the bill was sent to the President of India for his assent. President Pranab Mukherjee signed the bill on March 1, 2014, officially granting his approval.

As a result, Telangana became the 29th state of India, separate from the existing state of Andhra Pradesh. The formation of Telangana was officially recognised on June 2, 2014, which is celebrated as Telangana Formation Day. This marked the culmination of the long-standing demand for separate statehood for the Telangana region.

Significance: Telangana Formation Day holds great significance for the people of Telangana, as it symbolises their long-standing struggle and aspirations for separate statehood. The day is celebrated with enthusiasm and pride, showcasing the unique culture, language, and traditions of the region. It serves as a reminder of the achievements and collective efforts of the people who fought for the formation of the state.

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government has planned a wide range of activities and released a 21-day schedule to celebrate a decade of Telangana state formation, with various cultural events, flag-hoisting ceremonies, processions, and programmes that highlight the achievements and progress made by Telangana since its inception. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao announced that his government will celebrate the state's formation day on a grand scale for 21 days starting June 2.
